Thank you for your thoughtful response! I really appreciate it. To address your first comment, I don’t know too much about attachment styles, I’ve heard a bit about them from tik toks but from what I know I could see myself potentially having an anxious attachment style. I had a past partner cheat on me and I lost my mom a couple of years ago, so I do tend to feel like everything good is gonna fall apart on me lol. When I talk about my feelings not having to do with him or our relationship, he’s really sweet and holds my hand, and doesn’t usually know what to say but clearly tries. When I try to address my feelings of rejection from him or not receiving enough attention or support, he says things like “it’s really frustrating because I try so hard and I feel like you don’t see it” or “I don’t know what else you want from me”. It makes me feel guilty because maybe I am asking too much of him? And he has trauma in his past as well. But I can’t help but feel this isolation, so I’m not sure how to better discuss it. It was better at the beginning because he responded better when I brought up these kinds of things. Now it sort of seems like he’s tired of me talking about them. I hope all of that makes sense!
